S2E37 - For the Glory KC is back with the 44th episode of the show. On this week's episode, Sporting Kansas City give us all a brief moment of hope before snatching it away from us. Sheena and I discuss the exciting Sporting KC versus FC Cincinnati game. If you were a neutral, perhaps a Liga MX/Chivas fan scouting these teams, would it have been obvious who was by far the best team in the league and who was on the outside of the playoffs looking in? Not for the first 15 minutes I'm sure, but

S2E36 - For the Glory KC is back with the 43rd episode of the show. On this week's episode, Sporting Kansas City continue their bad run of form for their three games in eight days when they managed only two points over three games. Sheena and I head through the week chronologically working through the Sporting KC/Real Salt Lake game, the halftime media game (I won!) and then finally to the loss against Austin FC on the weekend. Not to be left out was the announcement that Inter Miami CF have

S2E35 - For the Glory KC is back with the 42nd episode of the show. On this week's episode, Sporting Kansas City drop two points late against the Houston Dynamo, then things get weird with the referee's end of game handling. We mostly focus on the game, but we can't ignore this nonsense from Sebastian Ferreira and Sagafi's mishandling of it. The Kansas City Current's form falters as the injuries keep piling up. They are in a near desperate situation needing around 18 points over

S2E34 - For the Glory KC is back with the 41st episode of the show! On this week's episode, Sporting Kansas City bounce back in a big way with a 3-0 win over the Vancouver Whitecaps. Sheena and I discuss her boy Remi's lovely goal (after an even better assist), MLS referees failing to protect goalkeepers and how steep the climb remains, despite only being one point below the playoff line. Beyond that, plenty of Sporting KC injury updates, locker room insights and takeaways from Jake

S2E33 - For the Glory KC is back with the 40th episode of the show! It's not 50, but that's a milestone. On this week's episode, Sporting Kansas City have a no good, very bad week. Eight days, three games, but just one (!) point. Instead of talking about all the moments from the game, we take a different approach this week and Sheena and I ask each other questions (including questions we saw from you dear readers/listeners). The Kansas City Current at least gave us some positives for KC

S2E32 - For the Glory KC is back with the 39th episode of the show! On this week's episode, Sporting Kansas City let a golden opportunity slip through their fingers to beat a depleted Los Angeles FC team at Children's Mercy Park. There is plenty of blame to go around, between the referees, Khiry Shelton, missed chances and ultimately Peter Vermes. Not sticking just to Kansas City soccer, we discuss the United States Men's National Team and their epic CONCACAF Nations League wins over the

We talk about our favorite moments from the match, some locker room exclusives and post-match presser gems from Peter Vermes and others. We didn't get deep into the recent Sporting KC trade, though I wanted to go into the MLS roster rules weeds (being short on time saved you all of this). If you are still

S2E30 - For the Glory KC is back with the 37th episode of the show (and 30th of 2023)! On this week's episode, Sporting Kansas City play twice in four days. They get the job done against FC Dallas but give up a late goal against the Vancouver Whitecaps. We point out some moments from both games that stood out to us, as well as some inside information from talking to Peter Vermes and some insights from the locker room. The Kansas City Current finally find the back of the net and a victory comes

On this week's episode, Sporting Kansas City demolish the Portland Timbers, so we celebrate and break down our favorite moments from the match. We talk about all four beautiful goals (the type of goals this team should have been scoring all year), Sporting KC's inability to defend the long throw, the rough schedule coming up and all the injuries the team is dealing with. The Kansas City Current were back in action and

S2E28 - We recorded our latest podcast after the Sporting KC loss in St Louis, but don't worry it's all PG over here. We do use a few inappropriate letters out of anger. For the Glory KC is back with the 35th episode of the show. On this week's episode, Sporting Kansas City have another up and down week. LAFC forward Denis Boaunga called them the hardest team they'd faced all year in a 1-1 draw and then they were obliterated in the first game against St. Louis City SC three days

S2E27 (Bonus Episode!) - For the Glory KC is back with the 34th episode of the show! On this week's BONUS episode, Sporting Kansas City and the rest of MLS have their salary data released. First, to follow along, I recommend reading the Sporting KC salary release (and the MLS full salary release wouldn't hurt either). Sheena and I go over a bunch of salary related topics, including: Who is the most overpaid Who is the most underpaid The biggest surprises How the Designated Player and

S2E26 - For the Glory KC is back with the 33rd episode of the show! On this week's episode, Sporting Kansas City have an up and down week. They were eliminated from the Lamar Hunt US Open Cup when their backups failed to defeat the Houston Dynamo. But they ended the week strong with their first home win of the season against Minnesota United in a blowout (that felt weird to type). We also talked about the rumor that Alan Pulido could be sold to Chivas (Liga MX) and the article from Sam McDowell

On this week's episode, Sporting Kansas City finally find a way to win a game and do it in unexpected ways by going on the road against the first place Seattle Sounders to take all three points on awful turf in the Pacific Northwest. In addition, we talk about the letter from the KC Cauldron to Sporting KC Ownership, the front office, the coaching staff and the players (see

S2E24 - For the Glory KC is back with the 31st episode of the show! Still with ZERO Sporting KC wins in regular season play since this podcast has existed. It's obviously not our fault, but I love to joke about it to get Sheena fired up. On this week's episode, Sporting Kansas City find a way to lose again, this time at home to the next worst team in the league, CF Montreal.

S2E23 - For the Glory KC is back with the 30th episode of the show! It gets a bit of an asterisk, but Sporting Kansas City technically won a game (though a league game still alludes them). Is the curse of our podcast (that Sheena says doesn't exist) over? On this week's second episode with talk about the victory of the Tulsa Athletic of the NPSL. We get excited, but only a reasonable amount of excitement considering the level of the opposition. We also do rapid fire previews of SKC hosting

On this week's episode, we start with discussing the 2-1 loss by Sporting Kansas City to the New England Revolution on the road. We break down some of the changes that were made from the game, and how Sporting KC just keep finding new ways to lose (seriously, two failed throw ins?!?!) each week. Then we transition to

S2E20 - For the Glory KC is back (though it is getting harder each episode) with the 27th episode of the show. On this week’s first episode, Sheena and I once again are forced to discuss a Sporting Kansas City loss but this time, we get to talk about a KC Current loss too. We didn't get to watch the games live but luckily (or maybe unluckily) the games weren't spoiled for us during our social media blackout and we suffered through both games on Sunday morning. We give our thoughts, including

We breakdown a lot of different numbers from the game. But frankly, we get into all the emotional reactions (and have some reactions ourselves) to the abysmal start by Kansas City this season. We have an extensive mailbag, talking about topics such as firing Peter Vermes, firing Jake Reid, firing Brian Bliss, ownerships

Both teams enter the match fighting to not be in the lead for the wooden spoon. But before we get to the preview, we have to talk about the big news that Ben Sweat is no longer on the team. We also answer your mailbag questions! Here is a quick rundown of topics (and approximate start times): A player is
